Also known as the Tueller Drill, the 21-foot rule comes from an article from years ago. In it, a Salt Lake City police officer Dennis Tueller asked how close is too close when facing an attacker with a knife? He determined that most bad guys can cover 21 feet in 1.5 seconds. So, to defeat an attacker with a knife, blunt object or even sword, a shooter must draw and fire accurately in 1.5 seconds. There is a lot more to the rule and the drills than this, but that is the basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thinking on this, the Family Dollar employee probably used the aisles and other concealment to eliminate the option of a charge. Also, if the gun in already out, firing time is sped up greatly. In any case, the employee used good judgement in carrying in a store many might consider dangerous. He also used levelheadedness to protect his store and send these guys packing without even firing a shot.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Family Dollar Employee Stops Sword-Wielding Robbers With Gun","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"family-dollar-employee-robbers-swords","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-18 12:35:16","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-18 16:35:16","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2019\/03\/26\/family-dollar-employee-robbers-swords\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":94862,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2019-01-21 09:35:27","post_date_gmt":"2019-01-21 14:35:27","post_content":"After an argument turned into a fight, an IHOP employee had to shoot an irate customer who drew a gun.
